"We discovered this gem about 2 years ago and we return about 2x a month. It's BYOB which is nice and a money saver but the reason we return is the food. Mmmmm it's great Mexican food!!! Great value to (I always go home with left overs). Make sure to order the fresh gaucamole made table side. It's so..."me of the best guac that we have ever had and ohhhh soooo fresh! Their desserts are wonderful too! It's a place that you will return to again and again!

"A group of us retired teachers have met here monthly for the past year. We range in number from 15-30 in any given month. The food in consistently spot on. A notch above your typical pub. A great array of delicious menu choices are available for the more health conscious among us, as well as those..." who aren't worried our waistlines. Accommodations are made for us to be seated together, and I can't say enough about our monthly server, Paige. Her ever-present smile, professional demeanor, patience, and warmth...oh and by the way, did I mention PATIENCE, is greatly appreciated. So whether it's a group of you or you just happening to be driving along Rte. 9 in Howell and are hungry stop in, you won't be disappointed.

"We have not been to Christies since they opened maybe 15 years ago. Went today, for lunch. Nice place, good staff. There is a lot of food so don't bother with appetizers. Semi-dressy, which is why we didn't go in the one time we might have 15 years ago. Food is mostly seafood and lots of it. I..." had the halibut special.

"My server Stacy was very nice. The place was packed but she was friendly and courteous. The person who sat me seemed very angry when they screamed in the kitchen for her card or her keys. Great food :)"

"We've been going to The Ivy League for years. Just there last week for lunch. They have an extensive menu but I really like their hamburgers cooked at the grill behind the bar. The staff is friendly and efficient. We usually sit at the bar where there are several TV's but they also have a cozy di..."ning room. The prices are reasonable and as an added bonus there are coupons now. For a casual outing give them a try.

"Mik Minton was friendly and helpful at the Starbucks at 4701 Rte. 9, T1B10 Howell, NJ. We have been to various shops in different cities and states, but she had the best approach to customer service that we have ever had.
Travis Overstreet was an excellent barista. He was diligent in how he made..." our drinks and I must say that my espresso machiato was the best that I have ever had.
Both must be commended on doing such a fine job serving their customers.

"I love this place and am glad they're back after their recent fire. Its an old-school diner with a counter and a line of booths. You get the picture. They serve good traditional breakfasts and lunches at a good price. It's nothing fancy but - you know what? - sometimes that's what you want. They won..."'t blow your mind with culinary elegance and sophistication, but they do a great job doing what they do. From top to bottom, it's a good experience at a great price. Check it out sometime.

"My husband and I come to NJ at least twice a year to visit family, and one of the highlights of our trip is enjoying the eggplant pizza from Emilio's. Our friends live in Tom's River, and we always have to eat Emilio's when we visit. Sometimes we stop on our way back from Atlantic City too. BEST ..."PIZZA EVER! Please come to California!

"We were looking for seafood restaurant a little away from the traffic and crowds at the shore, and decided to try Wooley's as we have puchased fresh seafood from them in the past and it's always been terrific. Wooley's is also a byob, which is nice.
Great decision, the meal was fantastic. The a..."tmosphere is nothing fancy, we ate outside on a beautiful night. The menu is full of nice seafood options, and my son choose the crabcake dinner and I opted for the a seafood dish with lobster, clam, mussels, shrimp and scallops with pasta and red sauce. My parents both ordered grouper specials, and we shared a bruschetta with crabmeat appetizer as well as two italian wedding soups with swordfish meatballs.
All four of us raved about every single thing we ate. The soup was delicious, nice touch with the swordfish meatballs! The Bruschetta with crabmeat on top was excellent as well. The quality and quantity with every entree was also terrific, there are at least a dozen other entrees ...

"Dined there on a Tuesday night (7pm reservations) in the summer and the place was pretty empty. That's OK with me - if it was full I think the noise level would have been too high for me - but that's me! Very nice decor - you wouldn't know you were in the corner of a strip mall on a major NJ thoro..."ughfare! It is a BYOB and our wine bottle was opened immediately - much appreciated! Very nice menu with lots of specials, especially for mid-week dining! The server knew all the specials by heart without stumbling or reading them -very impressive! Our water glasses were never empty - good service!
I had oysters (so fresh!) and the grilled salmon. I asked for the salmon rare or medium rare and it came out medium. Still moist, so I didn't say anything. Hubby had pasta in white clam sauce. He wished the pasta was more al dente and he needed to add salt. Another table-mate had the stuffed shrimp - lots of stuffing and lots of butter sauce on it.
All in all, it is a nice place nearb...

"Good food! hot and quick and delicious. I started using Chick fil a after a long line at another drive through. The Grilled Chicken sandwich actually looks like the picture. Good crisp fresh lettuce, red ripe tomato It's the little things that count.
Friendly service"

"I've always known Woolley's as place to buy great fresh seafood, but only recently found out that they had added a restaurant and raw seafood bar to their store. The restaurant is minimalist, with the feel of a Florida or island food stand - both indoor and outdoor seating, tables with brown paper ..."coverings, etc. But the food really lives up to the reputation of its seafood store. I had a sweet & sour calamari appetizer - crispy fried with a wonderful light mango-based sauce that didn't overpower the calamari- and steamed lobster - sweet, delicious and imaginatively presented. Our party also ordered steamers, fried seafood trio, and garlic shrimp which were all great. Someone at the next table raved about the fried soft shell crabs (on my list for our next visit), and another patron left with compliments to the chef for their specialty salmon dish. The prices are a little high, but the quality of the food justifies them. All in all a great experience. We will be back soon!

"We have never had a bad meal at this restaurant and we have been there numerous times. The rack of lamb is fabulous and all of the fish choices are delicious. The appetizers are great, especially the calamari and the string zucchini. The owner, Rosario, is a gracious host and Mary, who seems to d..."o everything is a doll. The interior is designed very elegantly and it's nice to eat somewhere that has tablecloths and linen napkins. Try it, you'll love it!!!
